Compact buy-to-let opportunity close to Deansgate and transport links.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment in central City Gate
414 sq ft — compact living space, efficient layout
Long lease: 126 years remaining
EPC B and double glazing noted
Ground rent £125 per year; service charge TBC
Electric room heaters — higher running costs likely
Short walk to Deansgate, Spinningfields, and transport links
Multicultural student neighbourhood — strong lettings demand
A compact one-bedroom apartment in City Gate, offered chain-free and positioned for strong rental demand in a multicultural student neighbourhood. The open-plan living area and double bedroom make efficient use of the 414 sq ft footprint, and the property is just a short walk from Deansgate, Spinningfields and local bars and restaurants.
Practical advantages include a long lease (126 years remaining), EPC rating B, double glazing and a council tax Band B. The building’s central location and excellent transport links support short-term and longer-let prospects, making this attractive to buy-to-let investors seeking a city-centre entry-level asset.
Buyers should note the apartment relies on electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, and the property’s small overall size limits space for living and storage. Ground rent is £125pa and service charge details are not provided — these costs will affect net rental yield and monthly outgoings. The apartment is marketed as suitable for cash purchasers; interested buyers should confirm mortgage acceptability if financing is required.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance urban investment with immediate rental appeal, but factor in running costs (electric heating, service charges) and limited internal space when assessing return or owner-occupation potential.
